Abstract
- Our paper introduces a new methodology to solve group decision-making problems under fuzzy and dynamic environment. The methodology takes group members’ linguistically defined pair wise preferences of alternatives in different time intervals and aggregates them across the intervals to obtain each member's net preference levels. Each member's net preference levels are again aggregated across the members to obtain the group's preference. Our paper attaches higher importance to the members whose involvement in the decision process is more recent than the members who opined their views in the past. The fuzzy aggregation operator, IOWA (Induced Ordered Weighted Average) is used to aggregate their views in accordance to their importance in the group. The Ranked_List algorithm, introduced in our paper, inputs the aggregated views of the members in pair wise form and produces the set of sequences of ranked list of alternatives representing the group's consensus view as output. The Ranked_List algorithm is validated and analyzed through a series of synthetic data sets and its results are compared with a movie selection case study. The methodology is illustrated with a numerical example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
